good night, God bless, GOOD BYE*

SO here it is... the end of something great! And I decided that the last photo will not be of something magnificent, or some great scenery, or some beautiful person on the street, or whatever... it's just me, saying good bye :)

IT was great... what an adventure. Sometimes I loved it, sometimes I hated it... but the most important thing of all - I DID IT!! I set a target to do something, and for the first time in so long, I DID IT, and I FINISHED GREAT :)

Yes, I said I would do it to the end of the year, but I won't have internet access starting soon... so that sort of burst the bubble. Day 150 is a good day to end. A happy day, a sad day... but most of all - a VICTORIOUS DAY!!

THe photo is of me... because I did this for myself... no one else! Thanks to my friend Emsie, who took the photo!!

Thanks to all of you who followed regularly, who commented often, and who cheered me on every time I didn't want to go on!! You're the greatest fans!

captured

I got very nice photo frames for my birthday, and they are all over my walls... there's something really fantastic about being able to capture moments - and treasure them forever.

ALERT ALERT: Tomorrow is the last day of the blog. Alas, I'm going on holiday until the end of the year, and thought it would be a good idea to end on day 150. The blog has come a long way, but it's time to call it a day. Watch out for the last photo tomorrow!!

a lotta LATTE*

Charlie's Bakery in town sells the nicest cakes, cookies, muffins, tarts and puddingy stuff... only to mention some of it.

My friend and I went there this morning for coffee... and didn't want to go too overboard, so we had Latte's and shared a STRAWBERRY muffin... with REAL strawberries in it... freakin' amazing!!!

accessories :)

So I'm quite into this whole jogging thing, and not doing too badly. Bought myself an iPod shuffle this week, because trying to run with an iPod classic is almost impossible (and the sports strap is nearly bigger than my arm...hehe).

Thanks to my friend Denise for the Timex watch... it's working marvelously :)

ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz........

I need some of this... NOW, until..........zzzzzzzzzz.......

perspectives

To the untrained eye this might look like a few random blocks... but to the eyes of a child it's a wonderful city - waiting to be explored :)

going to the chapel*

Two of my greatest friends are getting married on the 17th of December, and I can't wait!! I just know it's going to be one awesome party!!!

investments

My last pair of running shoes were bought in 2006... I know, it's a shocker. I have to admit that that pair served me well, and I probably would've ran with them a bit longer if I wasn't otherwise advised :)

Sooooo... I got my new pair of New Balance 1064's today and am super happy about them! Two awesome friends in church helped me out by doing an assessment and taking me to the New Balance store to get the right pair! Super-friends!

So now it's me and the road - and impossible is NOTHING!!

retail therapy

So this was one heck of a crappy week at work... seriously... THERE ARE NO WORDS :( Thank goodness the holiday is only 8 more school days away - I wouldn't be able to do 1 extra day!

I went for some shopping after work and whilst browsing for some CD's and DVD's at Look And Listen, I came across this little gem:

CHARLIE AND LOLA!!! (and at the bargain price of R99 for 2!)

For sure, the best cartoon there is!

crimson

Helped out at a wedding this afternoon in Wellington, and as I left the venue I saw the beautiful sunset. It's a pity I didn't have my own memory cards with me - it means I had to take this photo with my phone... but oh well... it's still a beautiful sunset :)

anniversaries

This is an old, new friend. Marlette and I met two years ago (roughly when this photo was taken - and yes... I'm cheating again)... anyways... Marlette and I met two years ago through another friend. She went to Korea to teach for a year and we sort of lost contact.

Now, two years later, all I can say is she is one of my new best friends!
